I've been getting the run-around about a title change/promotion. How long do you think is reasonable to wait before exploring other opportunities?

For context: The responsibilities I currently have exceed my JD. The role I actually more closely align with makes about 55% more than my current role. It's been 2+ months since I proposed a title change to my boss.

They will milk you as long as they can for free. Why wouldn't they? You're already doing the work. I would look now.

Not to be a downer but you will never come close to getting a 55% increase. You’ll be lucky to get 10%. Internal promotions are never that high. Wish you luck either way

I’d start looking now if boss hasn’t laid out an actionable path forward or told you what you can actually expect and a timeline.

check with your boss when is the budget cycle in your company

When do promotions normally occur in your organization? You may need to wait until then for budgetary reasons.

I would follow up again with a 1-1 and try to pin down actual timelines. If you get the sense they punt and can't commit, start looking elsewhere. Then, when you resign, they shouldn't be confused as to why.
At best you might get a 10-15% raise to align with duties, but the 55% increase will likely not happen for HR documentation purposes - even rightsizing they can't justify that in most places or get it approved.

The plant manager doesn’t know my skills so anytime I’m in the office working he calls me to the floor to do something the other techs can do. Should I have a talk with the boss about it? (I ran out of characters)
